<\/div>\n

Half Drunk Club have another banger of a gig coming up in Leicester on Sunday, 31st August. We have a band called Keep Flying<\/strong><\/a> over from New York\u2014they\u2019re on their UK tour supporting their brand new album Time and Tide (which you can hear here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

This show is for fans of punk, pop punk, ska punk and everything in between. Keep Flying\u2019s set boasts a high-energy, sing-along, all-inclusive vibe that\u2019ll leave a smile on your face.<\/p>\n

Alongside them, we have Leeds-based synth-skate-punk-rock band Eat Defeat<\/strong><\/a>, Nottingham\u2019s super-villain, zombie fighting ska punk lovelies Fighting Evil is Cool<\/strong><\/a>!, Nuneaton\u2019s melodic punk-rockers Shackleford<\/strong><\/a>, and opening up the gig, is False Summits<\/strong><\/a>, who\u2019re based in Manchester who describe themselves as sometimes pop punk, sometimes riot grrrl, sometimes hardcore, always annoyed.<\/p>\n

Tickets are just \u00a310 + booking fee, which is just over \u00a32 a band and an absolute STEAL for a line up this good.<\/p>\n

Lastly, it\u2019s a matinee show, meaning that we start early, and finish early (3pm to 9pm, to be exact).<\/p>\n

Since Half Drunk Club\u2019s inception, we\u2019ve booked bands such as The Skints, Big D and the Kids Table, The Planet Smashers, Catbite, [Spunge], The JB Conspiracy to name a few\u2014within our genre, that is an incredible effort in just over 4 years. That doesn\u2019t even include the amazing UK based ska punk bands we\u2019ve put on, which we estimate, is approximately 50-odd.<\/p>\n
